Nose: Rich aromas of dried fruits, particularly raisins and dates. Notes of vanilla and toasted oak mingle with hints of tropical fruits like mango and banana. A subtle spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg adds complexity.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. The initial taste brings forward flavors of caramel and toffee, followed by a mix of baking spices. Ripe tropical fruits emerge, accompanied by a subtle grassy note typical of agricole rhum. A touch of dark chocolate and roasted nuts rounds out the flavor profile.
Finish: Long and warming. The finish starts with a pleasing sweetness that gradually gives way to dry oak and lingering spices. A subtle pepper note appears, along with a final whisper of tropical fruit. The overall impression is elegant and refined, with a gentle reminder of the rhum's Martinique origins.
